Divine Spirit Posted May 4, 2002 Share Posted May 4, 2002 Originally posted by the web site the title "is clearly meant to refer to the attacks on the World Trade Center." JRR Tolkien can see into the future if he can name his book after an event that happens to a building decades later!!! i have to say that i hate these ignorant people campaigning against the name! thanks sooo much for giving me the URL to the site!

CupO'Coffee Posted May 4, 2002 Share Posted May 4, 2002 omg, i can't believe it! tolkien wrote that book 48 years before! they can't change the title of the film, it would be an insult to tolkien as well as to all tolkien fans (count me in!). also i'm not sure if it's possible at all to change the title at any rate, because from what i've heard, tolkien was very clear in his will about what to become of his books (for example he made it clear what company has to be in charge of the film rights). anyway, thanks for his information, i had no idea what outraging and, above all, ridicilous WTC related things were going on... "is clearly meant to refer to the attacks on the World Trade Center."? don't make me laugh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schizophrenic Posted May 4, 2002 Share Posted May 4, 2002 Prove to me that an online petition actually influenced SOMETHING in the world and I'll sign them all. Otherwise, they're just a waste of time. Give me 10 minutes and I'll give you an online petition signed by half a million people that requires ducks to wear long pants. The original "OMG TWO TOWERS NO!!!!!!" petition was so heavily laced in sarcasm it's hilarious. I pity anybody that actually believed it was true.
